Catholic priest jailed for St Joseph's College sex abuse
Father Michael Higginbottom was found guilty of the "cruel and sadistic" abuse of a teenage boy at St Joseph's College in Upholland, Lancashire.
The victim said he was locked in Higginbottom's living quarters and ordered to undress before being sexually assaulted.
He said would be hit with a strap if he did not go to the physics teacher's quarters at allocated times.
During the trial, the court heard previous allegations had been made against Higginbottom in 2007 by another former pupil and the Catholic Church had settled out of court for £35,000.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
